LOSS OF INBOUND PHONE CALL CAPABILITIES ON COMMERCIAL AND FTS LINES
"During normal operations, Dresden Station identified issues with site commercial phone lines. Normal commercial phone lines are functioning for outgoing calls and will be used for any required notifications. Incoming calls, however, cannot get through to Dresden. A test of the ENS phone system failed. In addition, the HPN phone line is also affected by this issue. A cell phone number has been provided to the NRC until this issue is corrected. Repair personnel have been contacted and are expediting repairs.
"This condition is reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) Major Loss of Emergency Preparedness Capabilities."
The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
